Before He Zhilin could reply to Gu Lintan, he saw Huang Fu walking towards this side, holding a small wooden box in his hand.

Huang Fu walked to Gu Lintan and stood beside him respectfully.

"If sir can help Mr. Gu..."

"Why not?" He Zhilin interrupted before Gu Lintan finished speaking.

He smiled and said: "Doctors never reveal the private affairs of patients. This is Yan's responsibility, so why should you care about your entrustment?"

Gu Lintan stood up, bowed to him with a grateful look on his face.

"Gu, on behalf of my cousin and the Gu family, thank you very much, sir."

He turned around and opened the lid of the wooden box in Huang Fu's hand, revealing the silver inside.

"These taels of silver are the fee for this consultation." Gu Lintan said to He Zhilin.

"So much?!" He Zhilin looked over and saw that there were at least one hundred taels of silver in it, which was a bit shocking.

"Sir, ten thousand yuan is not too much to diagnose and treat the princess," Gu Lintan said.

"These are just small amounts. It's a pity that Gu is poor and cannot spend a lot of money."

small amount?

He is just a new champion. No matter how high the official position of the champion in this dynasty is, he will not go beyond the sixth rank.

At that time, my grandfather was appointed as the Chancellor of the Taiyuan Hospital. He was a fifth-rank Chancellor, and his annual salary was only eighty taels of silver.

Gu Lintan and Qian were just a poor example from Hedong.

He was born into an ordinary farmer's family, not from a wealthy businessman's family, nor from any aristocratic family.

Therefore, after he was in high school, people once spread this story as a good story, about a poor man who jumped over the dragon gate. Isn't this the best story book?

And Gu Lintan, who was dressed in white, gave him a hundred taels with a casual throw, which was still cash!

He Zhilin was shocked and confused, but his expression remained unchanged.

He waved his hand and said: "This, this is too much. In the past, the medical fees I collected were only five taels of silver at most, except for those from large households."

Gu Lintan said: "Mr. has great ambitions. He will get a high position in the future. He is the Xingtan sage who should be flocked to by many people. Just a few hundred taels allowed Gu to make friends with Mr. Gu. Gu is the one who benefits."

"When you first arrive in Beijing, you will have a lot of money to spend. I will use this little money to help you."

"I will have to trouble you a lot in the future, sir. I leave my cousin's wife and children, as well as the well-being of Her Royal Highness, to you, sir!"

He Zhilin hesitated and thought about it again and again.

Huang Fu directly handed the wooden box to him and said, "My lord is really grateful to you, sir. Please accept it!"

He Zhilin said anxiously: "I can accept it, but, I can't walk back with such a big box, right?"

Huang Fusai's movements stopped awkwardly, and he looked back at Gu Lintan.

Gu Lintan laughed secretly in his heart, "A famous doctor in Jiaodong?" Even famous doctors cannot get around the hurdle of fame and fortune.

He smiled and said: "Sir, there is no need to worry, Gu will see someone to see you off."

He was about to tell Huang Fu to prepare the sedan when he saw a boy guarding the courtyard gate running in a panic.

"Sir, Her Highness the Princess is looking for you. It's time to return to the palace."

Gu Lintan frowned and said, "I understand."

He turned to He Zhilin and said: "Sir, you have been running around for a long time and you haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you ask your servant to take you to have breakfast before sending you back."

This is to avoid Jiang Xue. He Zhilin thought to himself.

He followed suit and said, "Okay, I will also use the meals from the Prince Consort's House."

Gu Lintan said: "I want to accompany the princess back to the palace to thank her, so I will take the first step."

"Huang Fu," he called, "accompany Mr. Yan for me. You must serve him well."

After Gu Lintan left, Huang Fu took He Zhilin back to the east courtyard and had breakfast in the side hall.

He Zhilin thought about it again and again, and after finishing his meal, he turned around and told Huang Fu:

"I will deliver the medicine I prescribed to Her Royal Highness the Princess myself in the evening."

"I cannot leave the recipe for this medicine to others, lest I leave any clues."

"Report my exact words to Mr. Gu, and he will understand."

After saying this, he just left with the wooden box.

"He thought you were going to deliver the medicine..." Jiang Yu said.

"He must have thought that I would bring you medicine that His Highness would be able to linger on the bedside after taking it."

He Zhilin sneered.

"It is said that people will always get sick if they eat whole grains," he said. "Instead of waiting for Gu Lintan to tamper with His Highness's diet, it is better for me to mention it."

"It also makes him think that I am indeed someone Eli can get together with."

Jiang Yu's face was as gloomy as water.

"Who are the women and children you mentioned just now? Are they really some kind of cousin's wife?"

In the outer room, he could actually arrange his first wife and son in this way. Jiang Xue sneered.

"I don't know." He Zhilin said, "But Your Highness, you should know something about it."

He looked at Jiang Xue.

"I came here to treat His Highness this morning. Why did Your Highness take the initiative to ask me about this mother and son?"

"Xue'er, do you know them?" Jiang Yu said.

Jiang Xue looked confused, shook her head and said, "We don't know each other."

"Then why did His Highness want to ask me about this mother and son? Could it be that His Highness knew about the existence of this mother and son long ago."

Seeing this, Jiang Xue thought over and over again and decided to tell everything about last night.

Of course, she concealed the content of the dream.

In fact, she just quietly chased her to the west courtyard. When she saw the woman, she was frightened and did not listen carefully to their conversation, so she hurried back to the room.

"That's what happened," she said.

Jiang Yu felt suspicious and asked, "Since you only saw this woman, how did you know that she had a child?"

Jiang Xue had a headache. After thinking about it, she could only say:

"The west courtyard is quiet and late at night. I hid not far from the window of the house where the two of them were talking and heard a little bit."

"What did you hear?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I heard this woman asking Gu Lintan for help, mentioning a child and a high fever."

Jiang Xue said: "Gu Lintan told me after he returned to the room that he had found a famous doctor to treat me because he was not feeling well. I then guessed that he was most likely going to ask you to treat the child."

She looked at Yan Zhe and said, "You have a great medical reputation. If you don't get an invitation from the Prince Consort, I might not be able to invite you in the middle of the night."

"If after handing over the greeting card, Gu Lintan and the princess invite a famous doctor to diagnose and treat someone else on their wedding night, I'm afraid he, Gu Lintan, will not be able to defend himself at all."

"I am convinced that he will definitely ask you to see the child under the pretext of treating me."

"I have no close confidants and no eye-witnesses in the Gu Mansion. That's why I will leave Huang Fu this morning and take the risk to ask you."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, Jiang Yu and He Zhilin both felt helpless.

"What if this person is not Zhi Lin, if his intentions are not pure, what if this person - is from Gu Lintan?"

Jiang Yu said, "It's a bit risky for you to act like this."

"I don't have any other clues. If I don't seize the opportunity to test something, where will I be looking for him in the future?" Jiang Xue defended.

"You have repeatedly said that you don't know the identities of the mother and son, but you are so anxious to find them." Jiang Yu asked doubtfully, "Xue'er, are you hiding something from us?"

Jiang Xuezheng didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't tell them that she had a dream, right?

Suddenly He Zhilin spoke.

"If a woman with a family has a child who is seriously ill, even if she seeks help from some powerful relatives, her husband will go there."

He Zhilin said, "Everyone in the capital knows that the Gu family got married yesterday. On the wedding night, who would go directly to the groom and disturb the wedding ceremony?"

"If she were a normal woman, why would she come to Gu's house late at night? Huang Fu is the old man next to Gu Lintan. He can make the decision on ordinary things. If he can't make the decision, he can also report the matter. Why didn't she look for Huang Fu instead of Huang Fu? Gu Lintan?"
